Kevin de Bruyne

[Pizy 18,415]

Does he now have better stats in one season so far at City than Oscar does since he moved here? Pathetic.

Everyone here knows I loved José, but this will go down as a legendary fuck up. Refused to play him even after he was our best player in that preseason because he was "poor in training." He's now one of the 3-5 best players in the Premier League and playing for a rival. Decided to build the team around Oscar who hasn't developed at all and may have regressed in his time at Chelsea.

Imagine how good he's going to look next seaso under Pep...

Mou chose Oscar over him? ?

This is why it was good he was sacked.

He was not good for youth and not good for long term.

I still believe that Chelsea want long term, but if we have a bad season don't drag us to the mud like he did.

One  bad season should not bring us to relegation zone overnight.

[Special Juan 27,439]

Number10 role or wide, he excels and does brilliantly.

75 mil repaid in one match. This time he got one over on Di Maria, congrats.

Apart from that, lots of knee-jerk from the usual suspects who already knew from the very first day that De Bruyne would become world class.

he was already good at Werder Bremen. A lot of people was excited about him but what Mourinho did?

Put him in the bench, promised to play him and hardly did.

Yeah thank Mourinho, genius!

he was motm in his full debut too. but jose knows best. got to build the team around golden boy

I always thought it was:

Hazard vs Schurrle for the left spot
Oscar vs Mata for the middle spot
Willian vs KDB for the right spot

But whatever.

I'm still a big fan of Kevin, I kinds knew this would happen the minute we sold him. I remember members here bashing him after some League Cup performances, saying he's not Chelsea level, he can't pass for his life.. etc. I bet most of those people backed Jose's decisions back then, even mocking KDB and Mata for the sake of it, and many of those have different opinions now. Congratulations!

well, you take someone out of the team without justification, and chuck them on some league 1 cowfield 3 months later... the passing is going to be off

Same here. I distinctly remember posting my disappointment when we sold Kev. That we would regret it later on.

With Lukaku I'll admit that I wasn't sad to see him go, but De Bruyne will be a constant, painful reminder for years to come of what a massive mistake we've made. Only thing that can let us get over it is if we sign someone near his level to replace Oscar.

Poor mans Oscar

I tell you what I remember. KDB impressing in pre-season and then bossed our first game of the season against Hull at a young age. He obivously had 1 bad game after and one gaainst Swindon about couple weeks later but it was clear he had talent from the go. But Mourinho being the person he is and not giving a fuck about the future, made a mistake and it has shot us in the foot. I never wanted him gone because I knew he was going to be a quality player. No other manager would have got rid of him and Lukaku the way Mourinho did. You have to give them game time to prove themselves.

Can you imagine what Mourinho would do if he had the likes of Kane and Alli at his disposal.

I think Kevin put it perfectly himself a while ago when he said that because he wasn't a big name or an expensive signing Chelsea didn't give him a fair chance. He wasn't a big exotic, famous name like Oscar or even Schürrle at the time.

Yes, and yet some fans thought that that was a clear indication that KDB isn't Chelsea level. Quick judgement can bite you in the ass later.

[Essien19 1,415]

I don't get why we have to repeat the same thing over and over again.
Yes, De Bruyne is class, but why isn't there a big discussion going on in the Mata/Schurrle/and so on threads on praising the sellings?
People really like to stick it to some people, only focusing on the negatives, going to bed. Too predictable...

[Pizy 18,415]

Would also be easier to stomach if our own Belgian star didn't have an abysmal season...

But I 100% guarantee all of you that Oscar will still be lining up next season as our "playmaker." A playmaker that rarely scores, contributes almost no assists, has no creative vision, and has one good game against a random, shit team for every 10 matches he plays.

This to me shows that Mourinho got a lot of control in transfer. 

Mourinho sold the younger players to get his players that he wanted. And a lot of people say that he didn't get anything he wanted in the transfer window....

This is why I'm not like most that think our board is incompetent and all that. 

In fact I think our board is great, they was doing a great job before the individual came here and screw everything up. And it was great that they realize their mistakes and sack the individual. 

Now they can go back to the deals they was doing before and hopefully Conte will be progress from the individual.
